Analyst, Asset Management Services

The Commercial Real Estate industry (CRE) is at an inflection point driven by several macroeconomic factors including on-going market volatility, changing demographics, rapid evolution in technology and data analytics, and the implications of ESG regulations. These factors are contributing to increased complexity and cost in owning, managing, and occupying real estate assets. Investors are requiring faster, data-driven insight, consistent reporting and an integrated view of risk, return and operational performance.

JLL is evolving its advisory approach to key clients by drawing together current complementary skill sets into a newly formed team focused on Strategic Value Advisory within the Value & Risk Advisory group. The team will deliver advice to clients alongside the Valuations business through three Advisory service pillars – Investor, Credit and Asset (including Asset Management Services).

The Strategic Value Advisory offer is powered by JLL's market-leading "quants-driven" approach, combining proprietary analytics, predictive modelling, and execution capability to deliver measurable asset and portfolio performance for clients and compelling commercial outcomes for JLL.

Within JLL Asset Management Services, we are reimagining how Asset Management solutions are conceived and executed: building a data-enabled, capital-aware and globally consistent platform that connects real estate operations directly to investment strategy in a streamlined and scalable way. The Asset Management Services offer combines established strategic Asset Management expertise with JLL's "quants-driven" approach to optimize asset-level performance and operational performance for clients.
